Genetic Diversity Indicator Testing Kobo v3.0 Manual
This guide will help you work through theKobo Form for the Genetic Indicator Testing project.Kobo Toolbox was chosen as the platform for the manual data collecting as it provided a way to build such a complex form, allows the form to be shared widely, and allows the user to collect data both online and offline .
This manual will provide detailed advice on how to answer each question, with examples if necessary. Along with the overallProject Guidance document, you should have all the information necessary to complete a species assessment.
In the Kobo Form, questions are presented sequentially with some explanatory text and without numbering, but in this document, we numbered the questions and provide, to the left of each question, a code regarding the format of the expected answer, whether it is mandatory, and if it is linked to another question (Table 1). Should you wish to carry out an assessment using a pdf or word document, these codes help identify the questions and answers that are being asked. NOTE : in general when entering multiple values to answer a given question, use semicolons (;) for separation , not commas!
Table 1. Codes used to qualify questions in the Kobo Form. For each question, sequentially numbered codes provide information on the format of the expected answers, whether a response is mandatory and whether the question is linked to another question.
